I have a coolant leak that begin last summer. The volvo dealership did a pressure check said the bottle was not leaking and replaced the resorvior then two months later it started leaking out again, they then replace the hose, and did not charge me for labor only 15.00 for the hose. This last step of changing the hose worked for about 7 months now I'm no longer living in VA, I'm in Houston and the coolant is now leaking out again at a more alarming rate. If I fill it up it may last up to 10 miles before the light comes on. There is no coolant on the ground dont know where it is leaking out too. I'm now told it must be a gasket. I need to know your opinon on this and how much am I looking at to fix this coolant problem. It has never over heated because I've alway put coolant in it when the light comes on. Please advise, can I have best case and worse case senerio and what you really think. Please also advise on what you would do.I need and love this car, but I've been unemployed for 7 months and have very little funds everyday is a stuggle to feed the family.

Do you see a thick withe smoke coming from the tail pipe or coolant in the oil?
I'd get another pressure test done, there might be an external leak somewhere.
